Reid Yellow (100 - 110 Days)

One of the most popular open-pollinated yellow variety grown in the country. Especially well suited for the Corn Belt. Originated by Robert Reid of Illinois in 1847 and improved by his son, James L. Reid, from 1870 to 1900. Color is deep yellow, with a lighter cap, but a reddish tinge often appears. The cobs tend to be small and dark red. Ears are 9 to 10 in. long and 7 to 8 in. around. Ear tapers slightly, with 16 to 22 closely spaced rows. Kernels are very deep and narrow to medium in width, slightly keystone in shape, with a square crown. Slightly rough, with kernels dented on top. Stalks are tall and leafy and make very good silage. Adapted to virtually every state. Seed is untreated. Matures in 100-110 days.

Silver King (100 Days)

Also know as Wisconsin No. 7. The leading white-dent variety in the Northern part of the Corn Belt. Originate by A.J.Goddard of Ft. Atkinson, Iowa, who brought a bushel from Indiana to Fayette County, Iowa in 1862. Foundation stock was produced by the Wisconsin Experimental Station in 1904. Wide creamy white kernels, with medium depth and thickness. Cobs are white. Ears slowly taper from butt to tip, with slightly wavy rows. Slightly rough. Seed is untreated. 100 to 110 days.

Revolt (cycle 0) 105 Days (Synthetic OP)

A synthetic is a composite of a number of inbred lines that you can save seed from. Work on this synthetic population began in 2003. Its parents were older inbreds that formed strong hybrids and its adaptation is the northern part of the Corn Belt. Has Ga1s trait.

Rebellion (cycle 0) 110 Days (Synthetic OP)

This synthetic population began as some preliminary crosses among commercial and university corn belt dent inbred lines in 2003. This was crossed with the Ga1s carriers from Missouri as part of this project. It is likely adapted to the central Corn Belt.

Ga1s are naturally occurring traits in corn that will greatly reduce outcrossing with plants that don’t carry the same trait . This trait is called gametophytic incompatibility. This trait helps prevent accepting unwanted pollen from transgenic and other field corn. This is how much of the popcorn stays pure. Revolt and Rebellion are varieties with the Ga1s trait. They were developed by Dr Frank Kutka and the Seed We Need Project with support from by a grant from the Organic Farming Research Foundation. We appreciate Frank’s fascinating work.

Dented red kernels mixed with deep burgundy

8 to 12 foot stalks

Sometimes two ears per plant

Lancaster Sure Crop (110-120 Days)

Towering 10 -12' tall plants

Long 10 - 12" narrow ears

The combination of big long ears placed high in the air causes stand ability to be lower than our other varieties.

Primarily grown as a silo corn and simply pleasure. Stalks grow extremely tall and is a lot of fun to show off to neighbors.
